How to Save Money at Banfield Pet Hospital
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

We have been going here with our lab for years. Recently she got sick and had some diarrhea. We handed her over to banfield. When they gave her back to us, she was covered in poop. They handed us some wet wipes and called it a day. This means she had been sitting in her own poop for a while. No one bothered to clean her up. My dog was pulling so hard on her leash trying to get out of there it was breaking my heart.

Dr. Losca has been great, thorough, informative & compassionate. I found the tiniest of kittens that had worms, was flee infested, and anemic. She devised a plan and after a few weeks our baby is on the road to recovery. We've named her Sofia because she's tough, just like her name sake in John Wick. We are very grateful for Banfield.

I love everyone at the pet hospital. They are so caring and knowledgeable. They answer all my questions, some before I ask. Georgie loves them too.

The vet and assistant were very nice and made me feel very comfortable with my dog Bo Bo who is very scared and aggressive toward strangers especially the vet. The vet took the time to help me and explained some reasons why Bo Bo was so scared and some excellent advice that could be helpful for future visits.

Horrible service. I have taken my dogs to Banfield for years. It's impossible to get an appointment on the weekends lately. One of my dogs had a very concerning oozing lump on his side that was growing rapidly and was about the size of a small bouncy ball. We had to wait 2 weeks to be seen. They scheduled for a drop off appointment and called minutes after dropping him off because they couldn't get him into a kennel. Admittedly, he has been difficult due to this lump, but we never had an issue before. We rescheduled for the following weekend and we're told that we should have given him medicine to sedate him prior to bringing him in, yet it was never mentioned and no medicine was provided. They refused to even look at his lump, couldn't get a needle in him to sedate him and made us reschedule yet again for another week out. I ended up having to take him to emergency at 1st Pet because he had an allergic reaction, and the lump had grown to the size of a soft ball. Found out the allergic reaction could be due to the lump, they removed the lump a few days later and we found out it was a Mast Cell tumor. Which is very cancerous. We could have saved precious time with our baby, his surgery may not have been so invasive if Banfield had just done thier jobs! 1st Pet was amazing and so calming for him. They did everything on his terms and for now he's as happy as can be and acts like nothing ever happened!
